Notes
A very popular Corgi model – this example is in all original, very close to mint condition, with a fine and gleaming scarlet paint finish. The left-hand drive version has a notably complete detailed bonnet label (tiny wear), complete door numbers and “Nairobi” label. Chrome bumpers, wheels, baseplate, and sparkling jewelled headlights.
Couple of small marks to the paint finish.
It comes complete with rhino, as well as the white card wrap-around packing piece and the yellow card packing piece that fits over the wheel on the roof.
The colourful card plinth on which car and rhino sit is a most attractive display piece. Crisp, as-new feel to the vibrant, fresh card. As fine as you could wish! No wheel slot or rhino slot tears. All push-out tabs fro the wheels are still remarkably in place, too.
Vividly-coloured backdrop for this model. Both end pull tabs are present. Box reverse has lots of information about the “Beetle”.
The outer box is bright, and complete, with eye-catching graphics. Crisp, clean and fresh.
Writing at a lid end.
Model specific Leaflet included.
